This 'invention' relates' to ,f canteen; sets^ of 'the .type used; fr'example, as accessories onv automobiles toholdsupples" o-t'; water,y oil and gasoline. v

An object of the invention is to' provide a setpf this .typethatisrelatively inexpensiveto" manufact-ure and that is neat in-` apfpearan'ce.`

' Another' important". object/f` is"- tot effect" clmp'ingiof the 'canteensin' amannerto prevent them; from rattling? further; objectj is. to' make provision'for securelyjholding the' oanteens and. at`the same "time provide `ior quick release thereof so that'the canteen's 'can bequrokly' detached from theholder Afor ldischa1"g in f the .contentsofsaid canteens.

en'dftoiend Ewithin 4the v:bandi In- 1'- and 2, three canteens are shown but1thf1s-number maybe less or greater, yas desired. The band is pree'rablyconst-ructed of sheet metal' and is more or less flexible and resilient.

Means are provided projecting inwardly from the band to prevent endwise movement of the canteens in the band, when the band is` contracted; on the canteens, and". these, i t

not shown', Apassing through holes .15' in lthe supports '14. Registering. with the supports M 'are openings '16.in the band to accommodate'ieetlfZprojecting from the peripheries `75 ofthecanteensf Thefeet 1 4, in thisinstance, have recesses 18 Vinto which the canteen feetvr 17 project, rlhe feet 14 may be of integral". construction with the band f or;` it" i' desired, A maybe separately'constructed and wel'dd'fo or :otherwisefseoured"tothe band. A? releasablei means is 4provided for eon-y necti'ng the 'ends of ithe' band' '11 for the vpur` pose .of clamping' said ends' and holding' thefban'dfcontraeted upon th-ecanteens aiidthis ineansmayybe'ofany suitable; construction g andj'in this .instanqe, is 'as' follows: The op# posite' ends -ofithe band form' Vcircular mem! bersv oruears 19, 20" which knestor seat'within i semi-circularmembers 21, 22 at the v lon'g'- en tudinal margins of a latohing member' 23",/

-which may be constructed of sheet "mietali'j The members20,r 2 2constitute. a hinge for; hingedly connectingthet member '23to2. the band". The `niember^23"'covers andl protects?` 95 thecanteenspouts^'361` It .will be notedvv that` the 'sem'iecircular' members 21,' 22l underlie'or" Y hoolr'beneath'the-members 19, 20'.. Thus, it' o will beseenthatwhentthe latching m'ember'gl 23 Yis snapped fclosed' it; cannot spring 'opjen,.. andthat' the latohing member 'is thus heldl'l inI prop,er"p:osition' for clamping by Such" o means as' will be described.'hereinafter.'

In order `toI contra'ot'the member`23 so as to in turnfcontract. still further. thenband" 105 uponi'the canteens, Iiprovide a pini orpinsz 24 havingghea'ds "25 which :en gage the ,oute'r face o:'c`th`e member22 and extend throughiv holes 26 formed in said member. The'pins 24 pass through slots 27. in themembers 20 110' iglesias@ members 21 and project beyondthe outer face of the members 21. The projecting ends of the pins are threaded at 30 to receive wing nuts 31 which may be tightened against the member 23 so as to draw the members 19, 22 toward each other. It will l then be necessary, in order to unhook the v.member 23 from the band, to loosen the wing nuts 31, whereupon the portion 21 of they member 23 may be sprung suiliciently, by.

forcing the pinsv 24 upwardly, to release the member21vfrom the member 19. The contactA means provided by the pins 24, it will beobserved from Figure 4, are mounted in an oflcenter position so that when the wing nuts 31 are screw-threaded onto the pins 24 to draw the ends of the band 11V into contact with the canteens, the pins 24 will tend to y of the flanges 13, since the band will expand sufliciently to permit of this movement of the canteens.

Now referring to the modification illustrated in Fig. 5,`the elements that function thesame as those described above are indicated bythe same referencecharacters with the addition of the letter a 1t will be seen that the only difference between this modification and the construction above described is that the band is of sectional construction, the sections being indicated at 32, 33. These sections are movably connected by a hinge shown at 34. This form ofthe invent-ion operates the same as that shown in Figs. 1 to 4, excepting that the band 11a `expands a little more freely than the band 11, owing to the provision of the hinge 34. v

Now :referring more particularly tothe modification of the invention illustrated in Figs. 6 and 7, the parts that function the same as those described above in connection with Figs. 1 to 5 are indicated by the samev vthe pins 24b passing through holes 26b in the ears 2Gb and through slots 28b in the ears 19h, said slots opening to the ends of they ears 19b so that, when it is desired to open theV holder the wing nuts V31b'wil1 be 361 of the canteens project when the holder is closed. To releaseV the canteens, the pins v(IIS 24b being'shown in open position as in Fig. p

7, the section 32b will be swung open on its hinge 34", thus disengaging the spouts 36,",

and permitting any one of the canteens to be withdrawn from the section 33h.
